Thanks RBH. I appreciate the thoughts. Honestly I do not have a lot of knowledge about auto repair. I've done a few tuneups and certainly have no lack of courage if it seems like I have a reasonable shot of getting a job done. I have not used a voltmeter for example and do not have an OBD to read ...

so the car had died last night as I puuled into drive after vacuum hose repair. As it stalled the tach was really jumping up and down im sure just trying to keep the engine going. So today i decided to "test" the fuel relay. When I turned the key one click to listen to the pump I noticed it does not ...

Bumps no but incline yes. Had some issues on a long hill the other day luckily Raleigh in pretty flat. The gas level question is interesting I am down a half tank and it is more common but Im not sure the problem isn't just getting worse. I havn't been driving the car much or at all for a few weeks ...

Unfortunately repairing the hose didn't fix it. Just got the part put it in and no dice. Oh well was hoping to get lucky.

Anyone know if the non turbo has an air pump? I've never even heard the term in auto repair before. Plus I thought ...

Can;t argue with that. I'm going to look up the trap claeing posts again and see if advance auto has an elbow I can replace the torn one. thanks again! I will fllow up with results.

Really you think that could cause it to run that way? Because it seems very specific to being on a large incline or decline.

oh wow this is the infamous flame trap? yeah my understanding is that its kind of a big deal!

Hey folks!

Thanks for the great info in the site. Ive been reading for a few weeks my 98 S70 is stalling. Mostly on hills will sputter and stall or just stall. Somethimes runs great it is intermittant. Started when going over train tracks only. Ive replaced the fuel filter and cleaned the throttle ...
